Eat at Joe's Camp Shack

This is a post about my camping tips. I have learned a lot by being on the road, and I am still learning. Travel efficiency is one of my top goals with dealing with my wanderlust. One of my pet peeves is over packing (and my other is finger prints). I might go camping and hiking this weekend, so I have been thinking about camping and travel efficiency.

FOOD TIPS:
1. Think like a vegetarian/vegan. Stay away from meats and dairy because of lack of proper storing and refridgeration. Also, cooking meats and dairies is really different than how you would normally cook them. Stock up on fruit & vegetables, Cliff Bars, canned beans and soups. Basically, if it can survive out of a cooler. I like beans and soup because you can heat it over the fire and have a warm meal for $3. If you are spending over $12 per day, you are either eating too much, or living large.

2. Fire. No,
Fire logs. More efficient than regular fire wood in the cost department, enviroment department, and time department. Three firelogs piled on each other can get you one big fire for a garunteed three hours. And you don't have to keep adding wood to the fire to keep it going.

3. Bring a pillow. I always forget.

4. Tenting. Always put the rain cover on. Lately, I haven't put it on, and I got a surprise rain shower at 2AM. Weather can change it's mind whenever it wants, weather you like it or not.
